En el entorno dinámico de los negocios modernos, la clave del éxito radica en la adaptabilidad de las soluciones de software. La creciente demanda de funciones de pago integradas presenta una oportunidad lucrativa para que las empresas de software allanen el camino hacia una mayor rentabilidad. 

However, becoming a Payment Service Provider (PSP) requires navigating complex financial regulations and undergoing a comprehensive overhaul of business processes. The process is not only prolonged and financially demanding but also subjects software platforms
to the same rigorous scrutiny as banks.  

Payment orchestration – a cutting edge technology – allows software platforms to activate and deactivate different payment functions on demand. This includes tailor-made adjustments by country, product, issuer, and beyond. This provides a strategic advantage
for software platforms and circumvents the high costs associated with maintaining multiple payment integrations. 

La joya escondida: desbloquear el potencial mediante la orquestación de pagos 

La orquestación de pagos ha pasado desapercibida como la forma número uno para que las empresas aumenten sus ingresos optimizando sus procesos de pago.

To put this simply, picture an orchestra. Much like the many musicians playing a specific instrument, each company will have a payment provider carrying out different parts of the payment process. The same way a conductor brings an orchestra together, a
payment orchestration platform consolidates all the payment use cases, capabilities and geographies into a single platform.

Esto resuelve un desafío que enfrentan la mayoría de las empresas al nivelar su proceso de pago: la deuda técnica. Las empresas que utilizan dos o tres pasarelas de pago aumentan sus gastos generales al tener que contratar un equipo especializado de desarrolladores de tecnología financiera.

By consolidating all the payment needs under one hood, businesses have more control over their payment stack. They also have the flexibility to customise their payments process to reduce inefficiencies. By routing transactions through a global network of
banks, businesses can drive down cross-border fees, foreign exchange rates and increase authorisation rates.

Y un factor importante en todo esto es que las empresas también están protegidas por la redundancia y la conmutación por error incorporadas, donde las transacciones fallidas se redirigen a bancos de respaldo.

Detrás de la decisión: por qué las plataformas de software venden pagos

Nearly half of software platforms (48%) are outperforming their rivals by turning to one of the use cases of payment orchestration – embedded payments. This is where non-financial companies like software platforms integrate and embed payments into their
product. And the trend has exploded in popularity for two reasons: demand and diversification.

Since businesses are becoming increasingly married to their software, there’s a demand for everything from CRM to payments to happen under one hood. It’s why we’ve seen SaaS platforms like Toast and Shopify see the success they have. Businesses using these
platforms don’t need to switch between different platforms or start a whole new business implementation – that ease of use and integrated data is what’s driving this tipping point.

For software platforms themselves, it’s about the diversification element. With the software industry becoming crowded, many are using payments as a way to diversify from subscription fees and add-on services. Rather than solely generating revenue from software
subscriptions, these platforms now monetize each transaction – earning a slice of every payment facilitated through their software.

There’s a very tangible Return on Investment (ROI) too. SaaS firms can see up to a 5x increase in value per client by embedding payments into their core product. This is why platforms like Shopify have seen tremendous growth. By embedding payments they’re
able to create mutual incentive for them and the businesses they serve – shared profit. This is a win-win as customer businesses can drive a higher volume of transactions, and improve loyalty, while their end users benefit from a seamless payment experience.

Colaboración con un socio especialista = mejores resultados 

Para que las plataformas de software aprovechen estos lucrativos beneficios, hay dos caminos que pueden tomar: convertirse ellos mismos en proveedores de servicios de pago (PSP) o asociarse con una plataforma global de orquestación de pagos.

It’s a lengthy and costly process to become a PSP, with over half of platforms citing that it took them longer than a year. Not only this, but there’s a higher risk of technical debt if you’re a global platform, and need massive compliance requirements to
help with underwriting and risk processes.

Since payment orchestration reduces the strain on resources and financial risk, forward-thinking firms prefer to turn to the experts. And, because it’s not a “one size fits all” approach, software companies can tailor their payments infrastructure to their
business – depending on their global markets, product, issuer and more.

¿Quiere ofrecer SEPA a sus clientes sólo en Alemania? Hecho. ¿Prefiere normas de fraude más estrictas para su nueva actualización de software en Francia? Una plataforma de orquestación de pagos puede hacerlo realidad. ¿Solo desea integrar pagos en su mercado actual antes de expandirse? Ningún problema.

Es este tipo de flexibilidad lo que ha llevado al 89 % de los líderes de software a optar por trabajar con un experto en pagos en lugar de convertirse en un facilitador de pagos registrado o PSP.

Navegando por el retorno de la inversión: no se trata sólo de recortar gastos

La inversión en nueva tecnología a menudo se percibe como un gasto importante para las empresas. Sin embargo, el verdadero retorno de la inversión (ROI) va más allá de la mera reducción de costos. 

When evaluating the shift from old technology to new, it’s crucial for businesses to assess whether it enhances operational efficiency, opens up new or improves existing revenue streams, and aids compliance with evolving regulations. These factors are pivotal
in determining whether a new technology investment will yield a positive ROI. 

La orquestación de pagos cumple todos los requisitos. El auge de las plataformas de software específicas del sector subraya por qué tanto las entidades establecidas como las recién llegadas están recurriendo a la orquestación de pagos como un medio estratégico para seguir siendo competitivos y al mismo tiempo estar a la vanguardia.
